Job description

We're seeking a Senior Computer Vision Engineer to work on novel perception technology at the intersection of research and deployment.

Founded in 2024 with a recently closed multi £million seed funding round, the business has a high-growth strategy that looks towards a series A in 18 months. Their technology is a real-time, high-resolution passive 3D sensor based on AI and multi-stereoscopy. For both defence and civilian use, the technology focuses on real-time 3D for supporting autonomous vehicles (UGV, UAV, USV), robotics and other such systems.

They're building a fundamentally new approach to multi-stereo perception, combining geometric methods and learning-based techniques into a deployable real-world system.

You will work directly with the CTO and AI Lead to design and implement the core geometry and perception pipeline - spanning camera calibration, multi-view correspondence, and 3D scene understanding.

The Senior Computer Vision Engineer role is deeply hands-on but also offers the opportunity to contribute to state-of-the-art applied research, with scope for publication at leading venues such as ICCV, CVPR, or NeurIPS, where appropriate.

Responsibilities:

Geometry & Multi-View Vision

  • Develop and optimise multi-camera calibration and alignment pipelines
  • Design algorithms for multi-view correspondence and reconstruction
  • Improve system-level accuracy and robustness across configurations

Applied Research & Innovation

  • Explore and implement novel approaches at the intersection of geometry and learning
  • Contribute to advancing state-of-the-art perception techniques
  • Collaborate on research outputs suitable for top-tier conferences (ICCV, CVPR, NeurIPS) where appropriate

System Integration

  • Work closely with ML and systems engineers to integrate perception into deployable systems
  • Analyse real-world performance and iterate on failure modes
  • Ensure algorithms perform robustly outside controlled environments

Engineering Execution

  • Translate research ideas into production-quality code
  • Maintain high standards of code quality, testing, and reproducibility

Requirements

  • PhD in Computer Vision, AI, Robotics, Machine Learning, or closely related field
  • Strong expertise in multi-view geometry and camera calibration
  • Strong experience in 3D vision / reconstruction/ SLAM
  • Strong programming skills (Python, Java, C, CUDA and/or C++)
  • Demonstrated ability to translate theory into working systems
  • Citizenship of a NATO country (required due to project constraints)

Highly Desirable:

  • Publications in top-tier venues (ICCV, CVPR, ECCV, NeurIPS, etc.)
  • Experience with real-world perception systems (robotics, UAVs, automotive, defence)
  • Experience combining geometric and learned approaches

We encourage applications from researchers transitioning from academia; alternatively, you may already have significant industry experience., * Are you comfortable getting into the Oxford office on a regular basis (hybrid)

  • Do you have a PhD in Computer Vision / AI / Robotics
  • Are you comfortable working on a product used in the military

Benefits & conditions

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: £95,000.00-£150,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Employee stock purchase plan
  • Work from home
